Editorial Reviews

"What a debt of gratitude all students of theology owe Gerald O'Collins! In book after book he has shown himself a sure guide to the most fundamental issues of theology. His works on the resurrection, on Christology, and on the Trinity combine deep knowledge of the tradition with extensive and informed presentations of contemporary approaches and positions." --America
